Proving Who Is Liable with a Truck Accident Lawyer in Clinton

Our lawyers will visit the accident scene, interview witnesses, hire experts, and get information from the truck’s “black box” to determine what caused your truck accident and who was at fault.

The Truck Driver

Some of the same conduct that causes other traffic accidents can cause truck accidents. For example, the truck driver might be texting or talking on the phone; he might also be intoxicated, using illegal drugs, or taking prescription drugs with side effects. Other instances include when a truck driver:

  • Exceeds the speed limit or drives too fast for the weather conditions.
  • Fails to check his blind spot before entering your lane.
  • Does not allow enough space between your vehicle and the truck.
  • Is fatigued because of inadequate sleep.
  • Misjudges a turn.

The Trucking Company

The trucking company is liable for the acts of its employees within the scope of their employment. The trucking company can be liable for failing to comply with maintenance requirements or failing to train its drivers. The trucking company can be liable if its employees do not load a truck properly.

The Owner of the Truck

The owner of a truck can be liable for allowing an incompetent person to drive the truck or for knowing about a mechanical problem with the truck.

A Manufacturer

If a defective part causes a truck accident, the manufacturer of the part or the truck can be liable. Examples include a defective tire, faulty brakes, or bad steering.

A Repair Shop

A mechanic may improperly install a part or not fix a tire correctly. If that mistake causes an accident, the repair shop can be liable.

Your Fault

In South Carolina, if you are more than 50% at fault for the accident, your fault precludes your recovery. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your fault reduces your recovery.

Compensation that You Could Get for Your Injuries

Our attorneys represent clients in trucking accidents. Injuries can include brain injuries, broken bones, spinal injuries, and internal injuries. Your injuries may be catastrophic and change your life forever. Fortunately, compensation for the following can often be acquired in such cases:

Medical Expenses

You can receive your medical expenses, including any future medical expenses, caused by the accident. You may need physical therapy or rehabilitation. You may need lifelong care.

Lost Wages

You can receive compensation for the work you miss because of the accident. This includes work missed for doctors’ appointments.

Lost Earning Capacity

You could get the difference between what you earned before the accident and what you can earn after the accident. Our attorneys will hire an economist to calculate what you could have earned had you not suffered your injuries.

Pain and Suffering

You may suffer pain for weeks, months, or years after the accident. Determining how much to award you for your pain and suffering is subjective.

Mental Anguish

You can also suffer emotionally after an accident. You may experience depression, anxiety, and potentially post-traumatic stress disorder.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

You may not be able to do the things you enjoyed before the accident. You may not be able to play sports, take hikes, or pursue your hobbies.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one passed due to the injuries they sustained in a truck accident, you may be able to recover damages for your loss. A wrongful death attorney can help you determine your next steps.

The damages you can recover from a truck accident case will depend upon the details of your case.

Bringing Your Case to a Successful Conclusion

Our lawyers will work with you from day one until the conclusion of your case. We want you to get paid as soon as possible, but we also want the best result for your case.

Working with the Insurance Company in Your Case

The insurance company for the trucking company may contact you soon after the accident. The insurance company may want a quick settlement of your case. Do not sign a release or a settlement without talking to our lawyers.

Settlements are final and may not compensate you for all your injuries. You might not know the extent of your injuries right after the accident. Let our lawyers talk to the insurance company because we will look out for your best interests.

Settling Your Lawsuit to Recover for Your Injuries in a Truck Accident

Most cases settle before they go to trial. Trials are expensive and time-consuming, and insurance companies want to avoid them if possible. Our lawyers will work with the insurance company and/or the other side to get you a settlement that compensates you for all your injuries. If we cannot reach a reasonable settlement, we will take the matter to court.

Our Firm Stands Apart From The Rest Because We Make Clients Our Priority.
